Rained a couple inches, not gained
!
I was driving thru Atlanta when it came thru. Had to dodge a couple garbage cans and lots of small limbs during the heights of the winds. It was kind of cool though, I love storms. I did see several trees uprooted, but none landed on anything important.Blew through here an hour ago.
Gusts up to 60 MPH.
We came through unscathed but the neighbor wasn't so fortunate.
The power that Mother Nature can muster has always left me with awe and respect. Years ago when hurricane Floyd was brushing the coast of Daytona Beach I was standing next to a three story building we were boarding the windows up on. Some of the gusts got over 60mph. We were having fun leaning back into the wind and not falling over, until a stop sign whizzed by. We got out of dodge right after that.
It was all over with by the time I woke up this morning around 6am. Some evidence of wind gusts, but nothing major. Apparently it's going to keep pulling warm moist air from the Gulf for the next few days with sporadic thunderstorms. As long as they are brief, that will be great for the yard and garden.
It hasn't stopped raining here yet this morning. I had a list of things to do, but the weather was a good excuse to be a bum so far today. It was intense at times last night, but this is the good slow kind of rain that really soaks in. I have to keep the covered area of the greenhouse watered by hand still but that doesn't take long.
I would rather mow damp grass as it kicks up less dust and other stuff that kills my allergies.
